It's Still Migraine City

Not too bad, but still enough to hurt and make my day miserable. Slept in quite a bit trying to feel better. Last night, cancelled Holly coming today. Just couldn't pull it together enough to have her come today. Finally worked up enough energy to print out the cards for the "gift" for the party. Linda and Desert Dweller Dave stopped by and she helped tie bows for the gift, along with Marisol from church while DD Dave and Melon Man watched the Military channel. Melon Man finally went to bed around 1:15 and around 3:30, everyone had left for cleaner pastures.

I threw on some clothes and ran an errand and then came home. Migraine still hanging around, but gone enough to somewhat function. Finished working on the program for the party, made the cue cards for the participants, made the last 20 cards for the gift, finished a couple of tile sets for a lady in the ward who then came and picked them up, visited with Melon Man before he left for work, and blogged while the cue cards were printing. Now just need to transfer the video and background songs to the laptop and then I'm heading for bed. I can't believe I've had this migraine over 32 hours now.

It will be nice when tomorrow is over. It will only be December 4th and the ward Christmas party will be done with so we can focus on our families for the rest of the month in preparation of the big night/day. Looking forward to being released from this calling next month. It's been three good, but long, busy years. I've created the programs, decor, posters, etc. for the last three Christmas parties. It's been a good experience, but a lot of work. I'm sad that we've never gotten to do "Back to Bethlehem" but that is a major production that I am just glad I didn't have to do. Maybe the new method of organizing activities (per the new church handbook) will allow our ward to do that next year. I think it would be excellent!

Thomas S. Monson Said...

"With all the strength of my soul I testify that our Heavenly Father loves each one of us. He hears the prayers of humble hearts; He hears our cries for help. . . . His Son, our Savior and Redeemer, speaks to each of us today: 'Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him' (Revelation 3:20). Will we listen for that knock? Will we hear that voice? Will we open that door to the Lord, that we may receive the help He is so ready to provide? I pray that we will."

Henry B Eyring Said...

"I wrote down a few lines every day for years. I never missed a day no matter how tired I was or how early I would have to start the next day. Before I would write, I would ponder this question: “Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?” As I kept at it, something began to happen. As I would cast my mind over the day, I would see evidence of what God had done for one of us that I had not recognized in the busy moments of the day. As that happened, and it happened often, I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done." As I have begun doing this in my own life I have witnessed the quiet beauty of recognizing the hand of the Lord in my life every day."
